Worried about doing 3 implants next to each other during the same session
I’m scheduled to get three implants on teeth 29, 30, and 31. A couple of questions:
I keep getting different recomentations if I should do 2 implants and a bridge, or 3 implants with crowns. The bridge route is cheaper and perhaps a touch less invasive. The crown route is supposed to be better for chewing teeth, maintenance, and safer in case a single implant fails or a crown breaks.
Even though it's IV sedation, I am kind of freaking out. I read about the inferior alveolar nerve and how incorrectly placed implants can cause permanent damage. My periodontist has been in business for a while, has good reviews, and will do impressions 2 weeks before surgery. Am I worried over nothing?
